Another "USA" connection were the 30 box cars with reporting marks USA
24167, 24169-82, 24184-88, 24190-95, 24197-24210 listed in the CB&Q ORER's
in 1947 and 1948. These had an inside length of 36' 6" and a capacity of
80000. When I asked about these previously, it was believed that they were
probably owned by the U.S. Army and normally in captive service on a base,
possibly Dayman. It is possible that they were to be used in interchange
service between bases, hence the need to be listed in ORER's.
